Allegorizzare il romanzo: Meraugis de Portlesguez
Keywords:
Meraugis de Portlesguez, Psychomachia, Anticlaudianus, allegory, courtly romance
Abstract
Raoul de Houdenc’s Meraugis de Portlesguez, probably composed in the early 13
motifs and stylistic elements typical of Arthurian romance. However, Raoul, who also wrote short allegorical poems, does not limit the game of intertextual references interwoven in the romance to a parodic mode, but he often recurs to allegorical figures and personifications ˗ such as the “vielle” of ll. 1418-1504 ˗ that provide not only the key to the interpretation of some very enigmatic episodes, but also the cipher required to understand the meaning of the entire romance.
